Christmasofdas's December Games Extravaganza

Reckon we should, as Andy seems to be on one today saying thinks like that and ICO rubbish & SotC only decent.

I'm not sure about on one, but I'm definitely on a roll

A barrel roll?

Can't speak for ico but I'd honestly agree with him about sotc. Game put me to sleep so hard I quiet within half an hour. Or it felt like half an hour anyway.

Why are people objectively wrong about these subjective opinions.

Having Fox and souls on the go simultaneously might actually work quite well. Might not have my Wii u then anyway, as after I finish twilight princess I'm lending the machine to my friend holly.

Give got the shovel knight amiibo pre ordered and will likely pick up Paper Jam at some point. That's about I think, XCX will have to wait till I've played the first game.

You know it's not a sequel, it's just continuing the Xeno legacy but far closer to Blade on the Wii then let's say Gears on PS1.

I know what Smurf means though; even if they're not related story-wise, it'll probably feel "wrong" to start the first game second. I've just bought the original at half price on the eShop, for that very same reason. Also, no Data Pack Downloads!

It might just be me but I don't see Xenoblade as the first game, I see it more like Final Fantasy that it's using name. As XCX is something likely the 6th Xeno game.

The main guy even behind XCX even said about using the Xeno brand and that you get a certain quality from Xeno games hence the name for this.

It's an absolute travesty that anyone on this forum bar the most absolute JRPG haters hasn't at least given XC a go.

I actually sunk 40 hours in to Xenoblade Chronicles a couple of years ago and got about halfway up the God thing (whatever it was), but I was tempted by the inflated price it was going for and sold it on. One of my biggest gaming regrets. I'd say it was my favourite Wii game but I'm currently working through Galaxy 2 and having a whale of a time with that. The funny thing is, I sold my Wii U in the summer and Xenoblade Chronicles X is probably the one game that I'm missing out on as it looks fantastic.

I gave it a go which you know, I've also played Xenogears the first Xeno game but going back to that now it does seem old also I was playing it with a friend and it was sort midway through. That if I started form the start I may of found it better but you do get to control giant mechs.

I do want to try Xenosaga but I will touch on that in a article I'm doing on Gintendo.

Look - purchasing it is like stepping through the looking glass for me, OK? I'm a bit scared...

It's a shame they made it New 3DS only, as I think a handheld version would have been more palatable to people worried about putting the hours in.

Fixed that for you. :angel:

That's fair enough, it's a big game, but so are things like FO4 that your average gamer seems to be lapping up. Especially over Christmas, give it a go: what have you got to lose? (Apart from a few days of your life.)

Just to add that Story of Seasons will be out on the 31st of December at retail according to Amazon not just eShop.

Next weekend between me finishing work and seeing STAR WARS! January will be going up, there is just 9 games coming out with 5 of them being out already on digital services which one a lot of us on the site like.

. That's exactly the problem, I've barely even touched that either, it's on the list, probably the next on it as well.
